Hear It From Our Valued Customers

I would not consider any other factoring firm to handle my business.

Ernane is a very valuable asset to any organization and is a key component and partner in my company’s success. He has always been very responsive, from day one. He treats me as if my business and success were his top priorities. No matter the size of the invoice, he promptly gets them turned around.

We were able to establish a rapid and ready turnaround

Before we started working with Ernane, it was horrible. It was hard to get invoices on time and correctly and there was just no feedback from our bigger clients.

Once we started working with him, we were able to establish a rapid and ready turnaround. I had the funds available when I needed it and a faster turnaround in payment to our contractors.

The professionalism and expertise offered by their team, especially Ernane, have been invaluable. Ernane’s warm, kind, and understanding demeanor, coupled with his deep business acumen, has made our experience not just beneficial, but also enjoyable.

Ernane has helped me every step of the way with capital for my business!

When I first started working with Ernane, I had the concept for my business and a really strong pipeline, but I was in a really delicate balancing act between accounts payable and accounts receivable, operations costs and cash flow. He’s just someone I want to do business with.

This is one of the best funding companies

​​If we didn’t go through Ernane, we would have had to wait 30 days before our first check came. After we started working with him, we were able to pay our employees on a regular basis. Otherwise, we would have had to have them wait.

It’s been a real game-changer

We’ve worked with Ernane since last Spring. He’s helped us immensely as far as our cash flow. It’s been a real game-changer, honestly. He’s been keeping things going for us. I wish we had known about Ernane sooner in our business cycle, it would have been really helpful.

I have no words to describe how much he’s helped me and how he’s helping my business grow

If it wasn’t for Ernane, I’m not sure where I’d be right now with my business. He’s on top of everything. I can hire more technicians now and I’ve grown the business by about 20 percent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is invoice factoring?2023-08-03T10:27:59-04:00

Invoice factoring is one of the oldest types of business finance and is one of the best alternative financing options available to small business owners. Factoring involves the purchase of your accounts receivable for cash, at a slight discount to your invoices face value, in order to quickly provide working capital for your growing business.

By purchasing your accounts receivables, a Factor advances you typically 80% – 90% of your invoice value and then collects it from your customers for you. A reliable factoring firm will also provide you with guidance and financial advice throughout the process. By working with a trusted Factor, you’ll be able to focus more time on running and growing your business, not chasing down customers to pay their aging invoices.

How does invoice factoring work?2023-08-03T10:28:17-04:00

There are five simple steps to invoice factoring:

1) You deliver your goods/services to your Customers.

2) You send invoices to your Customers.

3) You sell your invoices to a factoring company and get paid a cash advance of between 80% – 90% of the invoice face value, less a nominal fee.

4) Your factor collects payment directly from your Customers, typically 30-45 days later.

5) Once your factor has been paid in full, they’ll pay you the remaining invoice balance.

Can I use factoring if I’m a new company?2023-09-13T14:12:34-04:00

Absolutely! At ei Funding, we love new companies. Every big company today was at one time a new company. Unlike banks, factors generally don’t call for very much history of a company since we rely heavily on the creditworthiness of your customers.

This allows you to get going almost immediately and focus on what you do best — grow your business. With years of factoring experience working with small companies, we at ei Funding are in a position to help you get the results you deserve.

What is SmartPricer?2023-09-13T14:17:44-04:00

SmartPricer, a sibling company of ei Funding, has created advanced software to make the process of getting a home mortgage easier and more efficient. We use our software to analyze all the available mortgage options in the market and then recommend the best ones that match your unique requirements. This helps you make quicker decisions, save money, and receive top-notch customer service.

What’s the difference between a bank line and factoring?2023-08-03T10:28:07-04:00

People often wonder: “Is factoring a loan?” The answer is no, and here’s the difference between the two:

With traditional bank financing, rates tend to be slightly lower, however, the approval criteria along with other restrictions, have grown recently, making it much more difficult to obtain, especially for small businesses and start-ups. When banks provide a line of credit, this is a debt, which will show up on your company balance sheet and be tied to some form of collateral of yours or the company’s, creating further restrictions.

Factoring, on the other hand, is not debt, but rather an advance against your invoice for products or services. Each advance is tied to a specific transaction, and as a result, is used only when you want to use it. It grows as your company grows, and is there for as long as you need it, since the money provided you are advances made against your own, earned invoices.

Can I use invoice factoring services if I have bad credit?2023-05-08T17:22:19-04:00

Yes. If you, or your company, have a blemish on your credit record, we understand that. What makes invoice factoring special is that the focus of our credit analysis is not based entirely on you, but also on your company, and the quality of your clients, since ultimately it is they who will be paying your invoices. So although bad credit is not something we encourage, it is not a show stopper for obtaining factoring services for your growing business.

Are there any long-term contracts and penalties?2022-08-30T03:34:36-04:00

Contracts spell out the rules of the game for both sides, and at ei Funding, we do our best to make sure ours are clear so that everyone knows how things work. As far as contracts go, you can cancel your factoring agreement at any time, and the only thing we require is that it be done in writing 30 days before your intended stop date.

We are committed to a simple and transparent rate structure designed to help you keep more of your hard-earned money. And finally, if for whatever reason we don’t meet your service expectations, then we don’t want to stand in your way to find a service provider who does.

How much does invoice factoring cost?2023-05-08T17:22:04-04:00

This is something we are asked all the time. There’s a misconception that factoring is a costly option compared to bank financing, when actually, a business ends up paying only a few pennies for each dollar factored.

As an example, a $1,000 invoice will typically cost anywhere between $25 – 40 in factoring fees, so when we say it only costs cents on the dollar, we really mean it.

Is factoring considered debt?2022-08-30T03:06:26-04:00

No. Invoice factoring is not considered debt. It involves the purchase by the Factor and the sale by the Client, of invoices for goods and services.

Because of this fact, small businesses may use invoice factoring even if they already have a line of credit with a commercial bank.

What are the advantages of factoring?2023-08-03T10:27:32-04:00

There are many advantages of choosing factoring as an alternative for financing your business. Here are some of the best reasons to use invoice factoring for your business:

  • Immediate cash advances, typically same-day, for your Invoices
  • It’s not debt, so no monthly term payments
  • It’s flexible — you use it only on the Customers you choose
  • It inexpensive, costing your business only pennies on the dollar
  • You receive 80 – 90% of your invoice amount up front, in cash
  • It grows with your business
  • It provides necessary cash flow to manage through potential slowdowns or Seasonality which are a normal part of your business
Which industries use invoice factoring services?2023-07-20T17:09:52-04:00

Any business that invoices their company clients can use factoring to get the funds they need. Businesses in industries from manufacturing to professional services can use invoice factoring to their advantage. So long as you produce an invoice for goods you deliver or services you render, you can use invoice factoring.

While any company can use invoice factoring, there are a few types of businesses that can benefit the most from using it. These include: cable construction services (for telecommunications), staffing services (for hotels, restaurants and rental car agencies), retail distribution companies, manufacturing, marketing and PR agencies, and craft distilleries and breweries, just to name a few.
